Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

“Each [side in this war] looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not that we be not judged.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“In the gross and scope of mine opinion,
This bodes some strange eruption to our state.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Ah, could they know
how violets throw strange fire,
red and purple and gold,
how they glow
gold and purple and red
where her feet tread.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
